PowerBox4

NOTE: Due to the inherent dangers in using mains electricity in normal classrooms, this product is not for sale. It is however useful in tightly controlled environments and we are happy to loan out a PowerBox4 if we believe it is safe to do so.

PowerBox4 enables computer control of low to medium power mains (240V ac) operated devices. It can be driven from a Raspberry Pi, or from any of our LinkBoxes, including Arduino, micro:bit and PICAXE.

If you would like to use a PowerBox4 in your school/college please contact us to discuss this.

“The GPIO box is ideal for Primary Schools. We use them with the Raspberry Pi and Scratch GPIO. It makes it so much easier for children to connect inputs and outputs and therefore have a better understanding of the coding. Definitely recommend “

“When I first got my hands on a Raspberry Pi early experiments with breadboard and jumper wires were a disaster. I had decided that there probably wasn’t a niche for the Raspberry Pi at KS2 until I got my hands on a set of gPiO interfaces. I now teach physical computing on the Pi throughout my school, starting with children as young as 8 - and they love it!”
